Hey community,

I've come to the conclusion that I want to buy a pre-built PC, but I don't know which one to choose. I don't play very heavy games, as I primarily play: Rome 2, DayZ, Rising Storm 2. I play DayZ the most, so it is important that the pc can run it well. Furthermore, I might buy BF5 if the given PC can run it well on high/ultra settings.

In that connection, I think i've read somewhere that DayZ generally runs better on Intel CPUs compared to AMD ones, so I might go for an intel cpu then - but I might be mistaken. However, the advantage of the Ryzen CPU is that it doesn't "need" to be overclocked, as they tend to come with a high gigahertz, and I'd rather not overclock a new intel cpu as I don't know much about overclocking.

Btw, if you can't access the links, just look at the specs and price listed down below :) And I can afford them all, but I just can't decide which one to choose.

Here are the four different PCs - all with 3 year warranty - I'm considering buying:

Ok so the premium i135 is the best deal, despite that it doesn't have the best cooler? :) To be fair, i'm not planning on overclocking, so it probably doesn't matter that much in the long run.
Yeah, and as for your other question I'd really recommend at least 1TB but if you are good at managing your storage your current storage should be fine.

I'd personally get a bigger SSD if possible.

By the way, do you think it'd be worth it for me to upgrade the kingston SSD to a Samsung 860 EVO 500GB SSD even though it'd cost me 42 euros? Is the Samsung one a lot faster? Alternatively, I could just add an older 250 GB Samsung SSD that I already have if I ever need more space

I see that would probably be the best option if temps are not good get a better cooler.

Ok so the premium i135 is the best deal, despite that it doesn't have the best cooler? :) Is it due to its mobo or another part? Although to be fair, i'm not planning on overclocking, so the cooler probably won't matter that much in the long run.
